Well, 5 more
days and I’m out in the real world! I could not be more excited! I
know I am going to have so much fun, because every time we go proselyting, I
fall in love with the people! Haha. For the most part they are so
friendly and are so accepting. There was this one person that my
companion and I talked to. He was the perfect investigator! He was
very accepting. We gave him a copy of the
Book of Mormon and he was so excited to read it! I was really tempted to
challenge him to be baptized right there because he was so amazing! Anyways, I’ll have many more things to write
about when I get out into the field. More adventures, funny, and crazy
stories!
In reality,
what I’m going to miss the most here in the CCM, are the teachers and the
spirit. The teachers are the most
amazing people I know. I had this one
teacher named Hermano Castiblanco and he was like my best friend. That’s
how all of the teachers here are. They’re
all just so young and so much fun. It will definitely be a weird
experience when I get out into the field, not having these amazing teachers to
help me along the way! It's really a sad thing to think about but such an
exciting thing at the same time!
I can't wait to do the Lord's work and
spread this amazing gospel. If any of you are having trouble with your
testimony or your faith in Christ, I would recommend you read Alma 32. It
describes faith perfectly. I have been able to use it in my lessons with
investigators and I know it touches their hearts.
I love you all and plan
to write more next week after being in the field! Thanks for all of your
support. I cannot thank you enough!
